2019 January - February Fat Loss And Motivation

[sanjeetdhankhar]

If you want to loss your weight then the most important thing for you to do exercise daily or play any running game daily like football or basketball etc. If you do dieting in beginning you loss some weight but again you gain your weight when you start eating.
I suggest you to take small 5 meals to increase your metabolism. It will defiantly decrease your weight. thank you

No. Just no. Bad advice here.

The most important thing is get the diet in check. It is very easy to eat back calories burned during exercise. You can literally eat the calories burned in several hours of exercise in matter of minutes if so choose. Also it does not matter if there 2, 3 or 5 meals or whatever. It does not matter. How many times a person eats per day should be decided based on what fits best persons lifestyle the best. For some people that is IF for someone like me that is four meals in roughly 12 hour eating window.

I find it harder to cut with cardio because I am absolutely ravenous after a 30+ minute cardio session and its easy to eat the calories burned ++

Jumped up a little this week as I had a maccies 2 days before weigh in, hoping i'm still on the right track!

[JamesD7]

I've started doing weigh ins every day and then taking weekly averages as opposed to one day a week weigh ins. Means I can track it better than just having one weigh in which could vary based on a lot of different things.

Anyway.

Start Weight:174.8 Lbs.
Goal Weight For March 1st:165 Lbs.

Week 1 Average - 174.8
Week 2 - 174.3
Week 3 - 172.7
Week 4 - 171.2

[Frank Drebin]

Dumb question, for weekly averages you just start at the beginning of the week and just sum the weights then divide by 7? Never seen this method before, but I like it.

edit:

Just did this for every day so far this month, it really helps to show progress. Each daily 7 day average shows progress, regardless of the weight on the scale.

That's correct. As we know weight fluctuates a lot so helps against those fluctuations especially when you get close to weigh in days on the friday.

Yeah I've been using this method since December. I was just doing a weigh in every Monday prior to that and sometimes I would think I hadn't lost anything but using this method I see that it can just fluctuate. For example, the first week I did this I was 181.8 Lbs the very first Monday, a week later I was 181.6. Using my once a week method I would be disappointed with that and think I hadn't lost anything, the Sunday I was 180 and the Tuesday I was 179. So I had lost weight, but for whatever reason (water retention, hadn't taken a **** for a few days, whatever) I was heavier that 2nd Monday than all days before it and the rest of the week after it.

Daily weigh ins with weekly averages have worked a lot better for me to really track my progress.

[NitrogenWidget]

back in it and feeling strong again.
But not walking on lunch it's in the teens temp wise.
Will treadmill tonight though.

I noticed the exact same thing, and by keeping a rolling 7 day average you can basically see progress on the scale daily. I was also a bit depressed with my weigh in this week until I did the 7 day average.

Target Weight: 205.0

Start Weight: 229.3
Week One: 222.3 (-7.0lbs)
Week Two: 221.1 (-1.2lbs)
Week Three: 219.3 (-1.8lbs)
Week Four 220.0 (+0.7lbs)

I knew I was going to have one bad day this week (big night out that's been planned for ages) unfortunately it turned into three bad days. I feel like I'm going to struggle making it up this week and i'll have to get weighed a couple of days earlier so I fear another small gain coming.

Pretty much had a cheat week. I was out of town for 3 days which was non-stop partying, then got home and had another couple of nights which consisted of a fair bit of alcohol. Things should quieten down again now though so should be back on track. Quite relieved I only put 0.8 back on, had a feeling it was going to be a lot more but I did manage to maintain my cardio.

The trailing 7 week average is saving my sanity right now, showing about a 1.1 pound loss per week.

Not as rapid of a loss as I would like, but cardio has been few and far between too, as it will continue to be with the weather being as it is
